Individual Assignment: Engineering Decision-Making and Sustainable Management Water Resource Management: Watershed Restoration Objective: Evaluate students' ability to conduct environmental analysis, apply sustainable management principles and make informed engineering decisions through the application of sustainability processes and concepts. Assignment Brief: Assume the role of an expert decision-maker within the project. You are tasked with analysing and making critical engineering decisions that will aid with management of the project. This assignment aims to assess your knowledge and your ability to apply sustainability principles through your management to real-world engineering challenges. Case study ● Location: Drakensberg/Midlands, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa ● Relevant Data for Case: ● ● ● ● Assignment Tasks: 1. Case Study Analysis: Geographic and topographic information of the Drakensberg watershed. Historical water quality data for rivers and streams in the region. Local community engagement and stakeholder concerns. Availability of indigenous plant species for ecosystem restoration. . 2. Technical Process Integration: ● Provide 3 objectives you would like to meet with this project based on the information given under the "case study" section. Justify your reasons for the objectives. Identify and describe the key life cycle stages relevant for the project, explain your rationale. Provide objectives that you would like to meet with each stage and explain your rationale. 3. Decision Gates Implementation: ● Integrate relevant technical processes into each life cycle stage and motivate why the process was selected. Please also explain the expected output from the processes applied in the life cycle stage. Assume the role of an expert decision-maker within the project. Identify critical decision points or gates within the life cycle stages. Identify at least two decision scenarios or dilemmas for the project that would need to be addressed at each lifecycle stage before commencing to the next stage. Make sure you have a solution for the scenarios or dilemma. 4. Reflective Report and Presentation: Prepare a reflective report (maximum of 6 pages) to be assessed and a concise presentation (5 slides, just the presentation only in pdf format only) that serve (report and presentation) as guidance to the project CEO. The report should provide guidance on, the stages of the project, the decisions to be made, and the rationale for making such decisions. The presentation should effectively convey the key aspects of the assignment and your decision-making process.
